Ingredients
- 4 skin on salmon fillets (4-6 ounce each )
- Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper
- 1 Tablespoon vegetable or sesame oil
For the salmon glaze:
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons honey
- 2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 large clove garlic (minced)
- 1/2 inch nub of ginger (peeled and grated)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients. Set aside.
- Season the salmon evenly on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the salmon fillets to the skillet, skin side up. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the salmon is white about 2/3 of the way up the fillet.
- Flip over and cook an additional 3-4 minutes or until the fish easily flakes with a fork or a meat thermometer reads 135 degrees. Remove the fish to a plate.
- Turn the heat down to medium, and add the sauce ingredients to the pan (it'll bubble a lot!), scraping up any browned bits on the bottom. Cook, stirring often, until the sauce is thickened, about 3 minutes. The sauce is ready when you drag a spatula through it and it takes a few seconds for it to run back together.
- Add the salmon fillets back to the pan, turning them to coat. Serve immediately, brushing with more pan sauce as desired.
Notes
- If your skillet isn't big enough for all the fish to fit with breathing room around each of them, sear them in two separate batches.
